our brains are hardwired to [EXTREMELY LOUD INCORRECT BUZZER]
We are hardwired for story!! Your brain is hardwired to follow the hero's journey!1!!
I just read someone say "our brains are hardwired to think with the rule of threes"
None of those things mean jack and/or shit!! Let's just stop saying our brains, an incredibly plastic organ that is constantly pruning and building neural networks, are "hardwired" for anything, but especially things that are obviously and self-evidently culture-specific.
Fuck whoever first used a brain metaphor to explain a computer, you've doomed us all to listen to "experts" constantly liken brains to computers and misunderstand both in the process.
And yes this is about "The Science of Storytelling" but it's also about the reason that book exists and the context that made it both possible and successful.
I really want to finish it so I can do a write-up but this may be the anti-craft book. This may be the book that makes me dislike writing and makes my writing worse.
